Ofu Beach American Samoa National Park Wall Art | Vintage Reef Print

Ofu Beach in the National Park of American Samoa is the rare place where a coral reef starts at your ankles. This vintage poster looks down the curve of white sand to water that shifts from pale jade in the shallows to deep ocean blue, with the jungle wall of Tumu Mountain leaning over the whole bay in the midday sun.

Why you'll love it

• Painted in the golden-age national park poster style: flat blocks of turquoise laid over the reef, hand-drawn palm fronds, and hatched shadow on the volcanic ridge.
• It names the exact place. Ofu Beach, Ofu Island, American Samoa, with the park date and the coordinates 14.25 S, 170.68 W set along the bottom edge.
• The National Park of American Samoa was established in 1988 and is the only United States national park south of the equator, spread across the islands of Tutuila, Ofu and Ta'u.
• Jade green, turquoise, warm cream sand and basalt grey make a calm palette for a bathroom, a bedroom or a coastal-leaning hallway.
• Drawn in the same style as the rest of the 63-park series, so several hang together as one set.

Styling it at home

The turquoise band through the middle of this print is strong enough to carry a white or pale grey wall on its own, so it suits a bathroom or an ensuite where the light is cool. Rattan, teak and unbleached linen pick up the sand tones without competing. If you are grouping prints, put it beside the other island parks in the series and let the run of blues read as one horizon across the wall.

Shipping and care

Paper prints ship rolled in a rigid tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang with hardware fitted. Keep the print out of direct sunlight and wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth.

FAQ

How is this different from the other American Samoa prints in the shop? This is the Ofu Beach view, with the location and coordinates lettered at the foot of the poster. The other American Samoa designs show different views in mid-century, oil painting and watercolour styles.

Is a frame included with the paper print? No. Paper prints ship unframed; the framed options are the framed canvas materials.
